Road Trip!!

We’re on our first leg of a 4 day road trip to California with the baby. This picture is taken at the Pacific Border Crossing between Surrey, BC and Blaine, WA. We’ve got a six to seven hour drive ahead of us to just south of Portland, OR. Baby Girl is snuggled in and happy. What an awesome little traveler she is too. It took an hour to get through the border, and another 20 minutes to Bellingham where we gassed up. She’d been in the car two hours by then, with no fussing what so ever. I let her out to run around at the Fred Meyer in North Bellingham while hubby gassed up the car. The rest of the trip was uneventful with just a couple of rest stops for food and stretching our legs. I did load up my iPad with a few of her favorite shows, which kept her entertained during part of the trip. For much of the time she either slept, or chatted with us or herself, and sang songs . . . one of the most fun drives south I’ve had in a long time. We’ll be two days at my son’s south of Portland before we head out again.
